Over round_any(no.species,1000) vascular plant species
are known to occur within the Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound Biosphere,
represented by XX species occurrence records. The flora of the region
spans 11 biogeoclimatic units, from lowland dry coastal western hemlock
forests and associated woodland communities to high elevation alpine
communities.
Explore the region’s flora by selecting from the following biogeoclimatic units:
Alpine (CMA) Engelmann spruce subalpine fir communities (ESSFmw) Mountain hemlock communities (MHmm) Coastal western hemlock communities (CWHvm,xm,ms,ds,dm)

Scientific documentation of Howe Sound’s vascular plant communities dates to 1897, with the collection activities of XXXX. Over the last century and a half, the majority of records stem from collections made during the 19XXs and 2000s, including thousands of observations made by community members through the Howe Sound Biodiversity project over the last decade. [Also include note re: Indigenous knowledge of the regional flora]
